Why did Marvin stone make the drinking straw?
The straw is believed to go back to the Sumerians of ancient Mesopotamia, who used natural materials to form cylindrical drinking funnels so they could drink beer - doing to through a straw helped them avoid the sediments left over from the fermentation process. The problem was that straws used for drinking liquids were made from rye-grass, and tended to give drinks a grassy flavour.Marvin Chester Stone was employed at a paper cigarette holder factory in Washington DC. He used a fine piece of paper from the cigarette holder factory, rolled it around a pencil then coated it in wax to prevent it becoming waterlogged.So, as to why he made it - firstly to provide an alternative to the "grassy" flavour of straws of the time, and secondly, he was in a position to find suitable materials to try a new approach.
